Answer 13

sorry i was afk
first equation is correct good job
2nd one ` two times more of Type A than Type B`

according to ur equation `x= type A` , `y= type B`
so x is 2 times more than y
equation would be `x=2y`

`1st equation` \[\rm 5.95x+7y=56.7\]
`2nd equation`
\[\rm x=2y\]
now i guess you can find x and y
let me know if you need help
